Da Slim Ticket

My in-laws were in town for a wedding this weekend, and we were eating overpriced but delicious eggs at their tres swanky hotel when someone said "look how tall those guys are." I glanced over and saw the unmistakable visage of KG. First of all, Da Kid looks like exactly that. He's built like a gangly, skinny teenager. Well, except for the goatee and the ripped muscles. But in a long sleeve t-shirt, he resembled the proverbial string bean (from a Jack and the Beanstock sized plant, of course).

Thinking about LYF's recent post about recognizable team owners, I decided that KG is the most distinctive looking athlete in the world. You could scour employees at the GAP and find ten dopplegangers of Kirk Hinrich or Ben Gordon, but try finding another 7 foot guy with a 2 foot neck and a 10 inch forehead. He's the Shelley Duvall of athletes.
